Police & Fire: September 13, 2013

Sault Police were called to a downtown fast food restaurant shortly before 1 p.m. Thursday after a man’s foot slipped off the brake, causing him to hit the gas and strike the building.

Dwight M. Slater, 86, of Eckerman was transported to War Memorial Hospital by Sault Ambulance for treatment of a head laceration and other possible injuries resulting from the accident.

The City’s Building Department inspected the structure — deeming it safe for occupancy, according to reports — allowing the restaurant to continue operations.

The vehicle sustained considerable damage from the impact.
